Why did you move to networked 386's? What's running on them? The system that we use is provided to us by True Value. The backroom system is a SCO 3.2V4.2 box. There where a couple of reasons for getting rid of the WYSE terminals. There were emulation problems with the terminals, SCO uses an odd ball emulation. The system now uses the backroom for transaction processing, credit card approval, house charge accounts, etc. While the 386's actually run the data entry software. One of the big advantages to this is if the backroom system should go down for any reasons, each register contains its own mini database, enough to still ring transactions.
This seems to be getting a little Debian un-specific, so if no one else is interested in this why don't we use e-mail, instead of cluttering the list? A. Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
